Storage Directions
- Refrigeration: Cool the rolls to room temperature before transferring them to an airtight container and refrigerating for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: The cooled garlic bread can also be frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Defrost it at room temperature for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before reheating.
- Reheating: Wrap the garlic Hawaiian rolls securely in aluminum foil before reheating them in a 250°F degree oven for 5-10 minutes or until heated through. The bread will be crispier on the outside, and the cheese won’t pull as well, but they will still be delicious!
- Bake in the paper tray. I recommend baking the King’s Hawaiian garlic bread directly in the paper tray for ease and convenience. If using a different brand without the paper tray, transfer the rolls to an 9x13-inch baking dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray before preparing.
- Melt the butter on gentle heat. Prevent messy and hot splatters by covering the butter and heating it in the microwave on low or medium-low for 30-second intervals until melted.
- Make ahead directions. If needed, you can prep the rolls up to 24 hours in advance. Fill the sliced rolls with cheese, brush them with the garlic herb butter, and place them in the baking pan before covering them with aluminum foil before refrigerating. Before serving, bake the garlic bread rolls as directed.
